To all whom it may concern/.2

Be it known that I, GEORGE OHAMBERLIN STANLEY, of No. 44:3 North Aurorastreet, Ithaca, Tompkins county, New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Hair- Curlers, of which the following, takeninconnection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates to improvements in hair-curlers.

My object is to produce ahair-curler of the class abovereferred to whichshall be cheap and durable in its construction and of great utility.

A second object of my invention is to produce a hair-curler from whichthe curls can be quickly and easily removed without .breaking or tearingapart and without pulling the hair;

and to that end my invention consists in the new and novel features ofconstruction and combination of parts hereinafter described and whichare specifically set forth in the claims hereunto annexed.

It is constructed as follows, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate thecorresponding parts in the separate drawings.

Figure 1 shows view of the curler with handles pressed together to openthe jaws a sufficient distance to receive the hair. Fig. 2 shows view ofcurler with the jaws closed. Fig. 3 shows curler with handles pressedtogether, showing the broken joint 0 in the mandrel as it-will appear inorder to let the curl slip off easily and without breaking or tearingapart. Fig. 4: shows mandrel or shank having joint intermediary to itsends.

a is a substantially cylindrical mandrel provided with a jointintermediate to its ends and adapted to be fastened to a suitablehandle.

Z) indicates the movable jaw, having its rear ends curved rearwardlyto-receive a suitable handle and provided intermediate its ends withdownwardly-projecting ears, adapted to be suitably pivoted upon themandrel a and provided with a handle.

0 is a joint in the mandrel or shank arranged to the front of itsfulcrum to allow the curler to be Withdrawn from the curl withoutbreaking or tearing it apart.

d is rivet to hold joint. 6 is rivet to secure clasp.

f is spring to hold mandrel and clasp normally in contact.

My invention is operated by pressing the handles together, therebyopening the jaws of the curler to receive the hair, then allowing themto close and make the curl in the ordinary way. To remove the curler, Ipress the handles together, and the ends of the mandrel and clasp beingheld together by the hair the joint 0 is pressed backward and upward, asshown in Fig. 3, thereby making an incline to allow the hair to slip offwithout tearing the curl apart.

Having described my invention and indicated the best method of operatingI am at present acquainted with for putting the same into practical use,what I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

1. A hair-curler comprising a movable jaw, and a mandrel pivotedtogether intermediate their ends, said mandrel having a hinged joint infront of its pivotal point;

2. A hair-curler comprising a movable jaw having its rear end curvedoutwardly and provided intermediate its ends with downwardlyprojectingears, and a mandrel pivotally mounted in the ears and provided with aWitnesses:
